If you are trans: do not apply for asylum in Canada YET.
The appropriate changes are in the works, but not official yet. You will most likely be denied.
If you are denied for asylum once, you can not reapply. EVER.
Things could change quickly, so you need to keep that option open. Now is the time to prepare, not act. Unless you are in immediately, and direct danger right now (not pending a court case, not that the social climate for our community is bad, immediate danger to you as an individual), you need to wait until something changes, sadly.
